SPRING BREAK CAMP: Girl Power in Measure for Measure

SPRING BREAK CAMP: Girl Power in Measure for Measure

How does an ordinary girl speak up against a powerful politician? This is what the unlikely heroine of Measure for Measure, Isabella, must answer. When Isabella shows up at court to save her brother, she encounters the manipulative and sinister Duke Angelo. Without any fear of repercussions, the powerful duke tells Isabella the she must choose between her brother's life or her honor. Armed only with her uncompromising voice, Isabella stands up to Angelo and refuses to accept his terms. She defies societal expectations at every turn, and we can't wait for you to get to know her! Join us for a week of spring break camp that will leave you inspired to speak up for what is right.

Please note that this camp may touch on some of the more mature themes presented in the play.
